THE PRESIDENT TAKES THE RESPONSIBILITY mUE Senate vote advising the President to dismiss Secretary Denby has no more legal force and effect than a similar resolution passed by a chamber of commerce or a labor union or any other group of citizens. The Senate does not claim anything more for its action. So it is unfair to say the President defies the Senate by his refusal to ask for Denby’s resignation. The Senate resolution is, however, an important addition to the body of public opinion as to Denby’s fitness. That there is a great body of such opinion there can be no doubt. The Senate’s opinion has a peculiar element of strength and a peculiar element of weakness. Its strength lies in the fact it is the action of a body of men fully informed of the facts, men who have watched, studied and debated the Denby case. Also they are public men and have the same class instincts for the population of public men that members of any other class or caste have. The element of weakness is the measure of partisanship that controlled in the Senate vote. Party lines, however, were broken and one out of every four of the Republican Senators voting, voted Denby is not a useful public officer. President Coolidge has a perfect right to disregard this expression of opinion—or any other expression of public opinion. He says he will do so. lie says he will await the advice of two attorneys who are to be named by him and confirmed by the Senate. In doing this he says he takes full responsibility for Denby’s continuance as Secretary of the Navy, and that, clearly, is his affair. The country is asked to hold him responsible and it will do so. There should be no misunderstanding about the failure to impeach. It seems to be the well grounded judgment of lawyers in Congress that Denby’s proceeding in signing the Teapot lease was not treason, neither a high crime nor a misdemeanor (in the legal sense). It would seem the signing of contracts for the expenditure of millions of dollars for constructipn work without bids and without congressional authority comes close to furnishing a ground for impeachment charges. But that is another matter. President Coolidge has clearly set out his proposed line of conduct and says he will not fire Denby. He will be held in the responsibility which he invites.

SCHOOL FOR BLIND YY/ HILE anew location for the Indiana School for the Blind is being discussed, it would be well to heed the recommendations of George S. Wilson, superintendent, made in his annual report, just published. It will be necessary to move the school to make room for the World War Memorial. Wilson suggests that the new location—- “ Should have a moral environment. All ethical influences should be provided as far as possible. It should be located in or near a good residence district of Indianapolis and should have available education, social and religious opportunities. “Every advantage of health-giving and health-restoring conditions be sought. “The location and arrangement of buildings should facilitate quiet and thoughtful study. “The plant should be so constructed that the initial cost and upkeep would not be excessive.” Wilson is well qualified to discuss this subject because it is one with which he deals every day. The new location of the school for the blind should not be considered lightly. Many blind children, as Wilson points out, are frail and should have the best of surroundings. State officials discussed for months the location of the new i reformatory to house criminals. Let’s give a little studied at- j tention to t h e proper location of a school for our blind children. Nothing could be too good for them. SUSPENDED SENTENCES jwl ORE than 1,750 inmates are in State prison at Michigan I***l City—a record number. This in spite of the fact that many judges, like James A. Collins of the Marion County court, are firm believers in the suspended sentence for the first offender. Reading an address by Judge Collins on “Social Service in the Administration of Justice,” we find this: “The power to suspend sentence where the circumstances seemed to justify it has saved many novices in crime from undergoing the harsh punishment that would otherwise have been meted out to .them.” There is this to be said for Judge Collins’ preachment, even if it does not find general favor —a convicted man is given a 1 chance to make himself over outside of prison. We have received from Moundsville (W. Va.) prison a copy of “Work and Hope,” a magazine written, illustrated and printed by prisoners. In it are two pictures of a former prisoner. One shows him at the time he left prison, after five terms, a furtive man with a hunted look. It is labeled “The Old.” The other presents him as he is today, a number of years after his departure from prison, a man of open countenance, even handsome. It is labeled “The New.” He was given a chance, reclaimed himself and now occupies' a position of trust. Prison terms failed to make him over; but a i bit of kindness did. Twenty years he had spent in various prisons at a great cost: to the State, doubtless. A fair chance that cost nothing has con-! veffed him into a productive citizen. ATTORNEY ( AERAL DAUGHERTY has begun defending ; himself to the public before the Senate got around to accusing him of anything.

America’s isolationists are rapidly being isolated. fordfor-Rresident movement shows new life, as the result of the naval oil scandal. Now if Henry hadn’t said that Coolidge was the one and only man for President! ANYONE who ever has bought a theater ticket in New York gets a wry smile out of the assurance given the Democratic national committee that box office prices will be maintained during the coming convention.

streams or lakes has a destructive effect upon the banks or shores when it begins to break up. But it is it, the form of glaciers that ice does its greatest damage to the rocks. A glacier is a great mass of ice which is slowly moving down a valley or overspreading a tract of land. Glaciers range in thickness from several hundred feet to several thousand feet. They are found today in Switzerland, the Eastern Alps, the Pyrenei*s. the Caucasus, the mountain valleys of Norway and the Himalayas. Some in United Stab's In the United States, small glaciers aro found In the high mountains of California, Oregon and Washington. Larger glaciers are found in Canada and Alaska. The whole interior of Greenland, a territory several hundred thousand square miles in extent is covered with a glacial formation known as an ice field. A similar ice field covers the ajitarctic region. Geologists believe that at four periods in the earth’s history such ice fields extended far down Into what is now the temperate zone. Many geologists think that another such period may be In store for the earth. Two factors are needed for# the formation of a glacier. First an abundant sow fall. Second, sufficient cold to preserve port of one winter’s snowfall over the next. * In this way. layer after layer of snow accumulates. As the weight increases the undermost layers are compressed into a course grained Ic© to which geologists have given the name "neve.” Glaciers are important geological agents because of their motion. The great weight of the glacier exerts a force which causes the glacier to move slowly down hill. This movement in some glaciers Is only a few inches a day. In others it is as much as sixty feet per day. Rock Dragged Along Ixioso rock caught under the glacier Is dragged along with It. The pressure of the mass of the glacier is so great that these loose rock act like engraving tools, scoring great grooves in the bed rock underneath. The ordinary processes which wear away rocks, and landslides and avalanches, cause much rock debris, to bo deposited upon the top of the glacier. This Is carried along by the glacier and when the glacier molts, deposited upon the ground. Molting of glaciers also gives rise to many rivers. Thu* the Rhone River has its source in the Rhone Glacier. Iceliergs originate where glaciers meet the sea.. As the glacier pushes over the end of the land Into the sea, the end Is buoyed up for a time by the water. Eventually, It breaks, leaving gigantic chunks of ice—the icebergs—floating upon the sea.

NAVAL OIL CONTROL IS DEFENDED Officers Resist Moves of Fall and Denby to Lease Reserves, Naval officers resisted efforts of Secretaries Denby and Fall to turn the Navy’s oil reserves over to oil maxnates Doheny and Sinclair, but their reports were submerged by Denby. . Recently Senator Walsh came, by a copy of a report by Admiral R. S. Griffin, and made it public before the Senate Committee. Here is what the naval strategists thought of the Fall leases, which Fall explained on the grounds that naval oil was safer in tanka than iu the ground. By ADMIRAL R. S. GRIFFIN Chief Naval Bureau of Engineering HE position of the Navy Department with respect to cont—.. trol of the naval petroleum reserves has for the past nine years been that this control should rest witij the Navy Department. The Navy Department is the one most vitally interested in conserving for its ships a supply of oil which ■will be available when the present sources are getting low. and also (he Navy Department alone is responsible for the efficiency of its ships and their ability to fulfill the requiraments laid down in their design with respect to speed. Those requirements are impossible of attainment with coal. It was with this idea of conserving in the ground a supply of oil that the Secretary of the Navy In 1908 initiated correspondence with the Department of the Interior, which resulted, in 1909, in the withdrawal from entry by President Taft of certain oil-bearing lands in California. These lands were, in ' 912. set aside by President Tuft as a naval petroleum reserve "for the exclusive use and benefit of the United States Navy.” Later, in 1915, certain lands in Wyoming, which were, withdrawn In 1909 and 1910, were also set aside as a naval petroleum reserve. Validity Is Contested The validity of the first order of withdrawal was contested in the courts and finally carried to the Supreme Court, which decided in favor of th ‘Government. During the past fen years a number of so-called leasing hiljs have been introduced In Congress, all having as their ultimate purpose the opening up to lease of the naval petroleum reserves Passage of these bills was resisted by the Navy Department, supported by the liepartment of Justice, because the paramount purpose was to retain oil In the ground. OIJ was then cheap and the quantity used by the Navy was small, but as time passed it became increasingly evident In a short while oil would become a comparatively scarce commodity and Its price would increase accordingly. This further emphasized the importance of retaining the oil in the ground. Recognition of this principle was given by the .Southern Pacific Company, who owns valuable lands in the same locality, and who, up to a few years ago, drilled only offset wells on their property. Congress Directs Secretary The Secretary of the Navy is here clearly “directed’’ by Congress to: Take possession of the naval petroleum reserves, to conserve them, to develop them, to use and operate them. In bis discretion. And it would seem this duty cannot legally be transferred to another. The reason the Navy has always Insisted on control of these lands is it has such vital interest in them it cannot bo imagined that another department. and especially one whose function is the development of .public. lands, coujd possibly have the same Interest in safeguarding the Navy’s interest and in seeing these lards were reserved—as was directed in President Taft's order of withdrawal —"for the exclusive use and benefit of the United States Navy.” Oil Vital Need

Oil is vital to the Navy’s needs. Tn two years the entire active fleet will be composed exclusively of oij-burning ships. They have been designed solely for oil and cannot lie converted to the use of coal. It is submitted the naval petroleum reserves are not. public lands such as are usually under the control of the Department of the Interior. These lands were in the 1909 order of withdrawal expressly "withdrawn from al forms of location, settlement, selection, filling, entry or disposal under the mineral or non-mineral public land laws.” And the orders of 1912 and 1915 assigning certain of them as “naval petroleum reserves” for the exclusive use and benefit of the United States Navy would seem to remove them as completely from the domain of public lands as any other land under the control of the Navy Department.

Clean Laws To the Editor of The Times Have read the sensational outburst regarding the Teapot Dome oil lease. I note a prominent man is slated for the presidential nomination.

I would just like to add, that if 3 eople could just he assured that more than a very small portion of their license money ever really saw any sand, gravel, cement or real labor, they probably would be a little more reluctant about demanding a refund. 11. .T. PERKINS, 5925 Dewey Ave. Evangelist’s View To the Editor of The, Times Another answer to Mr. James Knox, one of your contributors: Please look again at Duke 1:32. It is written of his reign and eternal kingdom, “Rightly divide the word and you will see him as Eord God Almighty, Alpha and Omega, begbining and end.” (Tiev. 1:8). “He that hath seen me hath sern the Father.” (John 14:9). Tn him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily, the image of the invisible God Paul says henceforth know we know man after the flesh. As we have known Christ after the flesh, know we him*no more. Paul saw him as the one Lord God Almighty Christ Jesus was both Lord and Christ. Don’t allow seme small mistake to droxvn down the great love and many verses of Holy writ that are In the Rible. There are no doubt a few mistranslations in the Bible. For instance, the First Epistle of John 3;9 —“Whosoever Is born of God doth not commit sin,” The original Greek reads. “Doth not practice sin.” Quite a difference. 1 must say. This same Jesus shall appear the second time without sin, without fleshly appearance. He shall come in an hour ye think not and every eye shall see Him face to face, even those that pierced him. Repent and obey (Acts 2:38.) and you will know a greater and more powerful Jesus than ever before. For David Is not ascended, but be salth himself, “The Lord said unto my Lord. Sit thou on my right Aand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” If David then called Him Lord in spirit, how then is He, David, the father of Jesus?
